Pullup variety

Lately my arm has been a hot mess and its starting to take its toll during training. Mostly affecting my pullups which I hate to say I started to take a liking to recently. Unfortunately, now that my left bicep is strained from a shot I took to the elbow my last rugby tourny I've had to look at alternatives. Since I got my new S-4 rack up from Rogue I think I may have found something.




Pretty simple- Climb up. Climb down. Doesn't require much flexion in the arm so the bicep stays relatively inactive during the movement while back and forearms still get some work. Plus its just something different than what I've been doing lately.

I think my next challenge is to hang a rope down and climb that first before reaching the bars. We shall see.
